Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de tri qui accepte un groupe de pièces de courrier au niveau d'un poste de chargement, qui trie ces pièces et les déplace vers un poste de déchargement. Le système comporte un lecteur qui extrait des informations de livraison liées à chaque pièce de courrier, ainsi que des attaches dont les dimensions permettent à chaque attache de recevoir une pièce de courrier. Le système possède un dispositif destiné à créer une association entre les informations de livraison extraites de chaque pièce de courrier et son attache correspondante. Il possède également un trieur qui déplace les attaches retenant les pièces de courrier, en fonction de l'association de chaque attache avec les informations de livraison extraites, ainsi, les pièces de courrier retenues par des attaches sont triées en fonction d'une séquence de livraison désirée. De plus, le système comporte un mécanisme conçu pour ouvrir les attaches triées pour libérer les pièces de courrier au poste de déchargement.
